Commuovere

“A heartwarming story that moved you to tears.”

Basically, any movie with a dog in it does this to me. If you want to experience Commuovere firsthand, watch Hachiko, a film based on a true story about a dog who waited for his owner at the train station every day – and did so for years after the owner died. (It's okay to cry right now.)

In Stir

- A slang word for prison

- Stir is a 19th-century slang term for "prison," which some word historians believe is derived from the Romani stariben, which has the same meaning.

“I was in Brummagem, and was seven days in the new ‘stir’ (prison).” The term “Brummagem” was a local nickname for the English city of Birmingham.

- However, the phrase “in stir” (without the article) was the usual slang term for “in prison.”
